  1. Because they know. We have a President that will do nothing.

  2. Why we keep sending drones might as well send kites 🪁 send f35’s

  3. The ugly evil imperial warmongering dictator Unkkkle Sam aka " the Global Bully Thug " try to dictate the whole world for it's wicked greedy economic benefit and support it's Xerox print worthless US currency with it's 800 military bases in at least 80 countries worldwide so that they can rob and rip-off other country's natural and labor resources.

  4. I’m curious… Just for sh__s and giggles.. why don’t we scramble some fighters and chase their offending jets into the ground? Don’t shoot them down… jam their electronics and force them to either bailout or put their jet down on the sand…. It’s outrageous that we can’t put a quick stop to this….

  5. You might as well shoot those russian jets down. They can't handle a non-nuclear neighboring country and are already terrorist. All they will do is harrass by trying to scare the US when the US is trying to avoid a war which is what they are betting on, but how long will it take until someone gets killed all because a dying old man wanted to inavde a neighorinh country for land and it's resources. If it was about historical borders, that would mean poland, finland, and all other countries the soviet union occupied would be invaded.
    "Doing it for the the people of russia and the motherland" as they use mercenaries to get any amount of land they can with inmates sent to them and throwing their "wonder weapons" at civilian infastructure because russia is such a threat, but they are no longer a major threat than that of North Korea wanting attention.

  6. Just take off the safety switch for drones …tell the Russians if you play you pay.😂

  7. It would be a shame if the drone accidentally crashed into fighter jet

  8. Drones are not living things that can be harassed. They are military toys that the Migs were playing with.

  9. Poop now commercial AGAIN Instacart!

  10. You in the shed now with you arsenal Gena construction choice of light and bugs in here urine oh sorry NASA pee on

  11. I don’t understand why a Russian aviator would risk a $30 million SU35 single seater aircraft playing chicken with a equally expensive ‘unmanned’ drone?

  12. This is why it's called russian roulette

  13. Notice how they won't say why the drones were in the area in the first place? Most likely because they were spying on Russian bases.

  14. Aaww russia flew too close to your toy airplane! Quick give Ukraine all our social security money!

  15. Weak Russia barking behind a fence. Too late the whole world already seen how soft your military is.

  16. Its very obvious none of the FEM DEMS served during the COLD WAR or they would know this is absolutely NOTHING in comparison lol.

  17. Its like a dogs barking with each other in front of the gate. But when you open the gate they will stop barking and stand still silently. And if you close the gate, they will start barking again

  18. L:ets put some sidewinders on those drones and have some "accidents."

  19. Primero que todo antes de que se quejen los de EE UU , no deberían de estar en un país ajeno abusivos
